Ing. Jan Zacek *1964 Education: - 1970-79 elementary school - 1979-83 Secondary Technical School - Automation and measuring - 1983-88 Military University - Computers - 1984-88 working as science assistant Projects and jobs: - 1984 development of input-output units for computers -digitizer, mouse, touchpad and game port - 1985-88 development video graphics card with HW acceleration drawscan and 2D graphic library on separate Z80 processor, it was my graduation project, and now that principle using all PC's as VGA acceleration card - 1989 working on mainframe, in general headquarters of Czechoslovak army - 1990 development of satellite receivers - 1991 development of acceleration graphics card with virtual processors for PC - 1992-93 research, development and designing Associative Vector Image Processor, designing chip 50 Kgates 0.8 micron MATRA - parallel architecture with 128x64bit processors - 5 GOPS on single chip, for Virtual Reality, PCT patent - 1994 designing of system for real-time hi-resolution rendering on XILINX FPGA - 1995-96 development and prototype manufacturing of HiFill - digital signal processor accelerate SVGA graphics, use LATICE ispLSI, PCT patent - 1997 programming real-time raytracer for VR - Open GL alternative - 1998 designing Virtual VGA - next generation graphics for all PC - use XILINX, (Microsoft's initiative TALISMAN) move windows and texturing without delay - 1999 development of medical therapeutic devices, 4 microcontroller 8951- real-time operating system - 1999 ressearch and programing non JPEG video compression - 2000-01 designing on one chip (RF digital signal processor) 100 Mbit/s internet wireless radio UWB on Actel FPGA include PCB (PCMCIA card) , development new Open-Loop hi-speed internet protocol and HDTV broadcasting and internet cashing server - 2002 development Bluetooth packet hopping G4 telephone with Atmel AVR - 2002-04 development new principle of power supply, PULSE Power Supply My knowledge: - digital chip designing - SoIC, processors, interfaces PCI, ISA, PCMCIA, USB, serial, parallel, communication, D/A, A/D, video - sound compressing, decoding, 2D, 3D graphic accelerators, multiple clocks, DSP, PLL, RF.................. technology - standard cell, gate array, FPGA Xilinx, EPLD Lattice Xilinx, antifuse Actel tools - circuit design, VHDL, simulation, layout and design verification, timing , testing, measuring [10 years experience] - electronic prototyping - circuit design, schematic, simulation Spice, RF PCB layout placement routing, soldering, measuring, testing, final design, documentation, manufacturing [25 years experience] - programming - 2D, 3D computer graphics and visualization, communication, real-time OS tools - C++, WIN, assembler X86, 8051, AVR, Basic [20 years experience] My best original ideas - inventions: - accelerated VGA (1983) - touchpad (1984) - associative processor for Virtual Reality graphics (1992) - Ultra Wide Band wireless Gigabit communication and protocols (2000) - new principle of power supply, cool thyristor technology (2003) - voice and video compression (replace JPEG/MPEG) (1995-still in development) - PULSE Power Supply (2003) 10 national and 2 international PCT patents pending My last digital design was soft UWB wireless data transceiver, 10kgates 100pin chip with 2 asynchronous and 4 synchronous clocks, with gigabit sampler and radiofrequency 445MHz digital filter - massive parallel logic, with statistic phase lock loop - is synchronized after one period - my patent, memory buffer logic and PCMCIA interface. My primary focus are: development of advanced and innovative products - independent analysis, idea, research, design, programming, prototyping and testing and product completion to market launch. I working systematically for best possible results. e-mail:john.z@atlas.cz www.mujweb.cz/pocitace/hifill/ www.volny.cz/johnz/
